Sitting on the corner of Bleeker Street and Great Jones Street the Patrick Fox
Gallery quickly became a premier exhibition space for the more avant-garde work
in New York at the time. Set in the base of a 4-story early 19th century federal
style townhouse the gallery façade was intended to be an evocative and abstract
intervention that blended the red brick and white mortar of the original building
with the raw concrete stucco and rusted steel of the lower story. At the end of
the day, a heavy corten steel door rolls across and attaches to the original cast
iron column to protect the white jewel-like gallery space inside.
